The command "dget ${package_name}" is a command used in Debian-based systems, primarily in Debian itself and its derivatives like Ubuntu.
The "dget" command is a tool used to download source package files from a specified version of a package. It retrieves the package source code along with related files needed for building the package.
In the command, "${package_name}" is a placeholder for the name of the package you want to retrieve. You need to replace "${package_name}" with the actual package name you are interested in.
By running this command, the tool will fetch the source package files from a Debian repository or another specified location, allowing you to access and examine the package source code for various purposes such as troubleshooting, modifying, or studying the source of a particular package.
